Luke91grand Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Unfortunatly my starlet has started a small oil leak I found out today it's the oil seals I've been quoted at 270 to fix is this a good price or am I being ripped off I want to know before I commit to this mechanic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Which oil seal? Bit more detail may help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luke91grand Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm not too sure to be honest I only had it checked today I don't know much about engine work I'd know more about the bodywork side of things , well he told me it was 3 seals needing replacing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waderz06 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Try and find out what seals though bud. If it's front/rear crank oil seal then that's probably about the right money. If it's something like distributor o ring or rocker cover gasket then he's charging a lot for a 10 minute job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davehart Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 270 for an oil seal? I'd shop around Garages. I'd find out what seal it is that needs replacing. Engine side or gearbox side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wow she looks the same! Miss her man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luke91grand Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks the same plus a few touches well the mechanic says its both sides but they wudnt know until they had a proper look at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
